We present a mathematical analysis of trabecular bone which may be applied to develop dynamic computer simulations of the musculoskeletal system. We have derived an algorithm which can be used to study the genetic limitations within which skeletal articulations may function successfully. We believe that our model will help other workers to advance the understanding of the interplay between genetic and environmental influences in the growth, modelling and degeneration of osseous tissues.
